hi,

recently i did some testing. i tried omelasticsearch but i stopped using
direct output plugin in the favor of logstash push agent

a) i wont connect logserver to the els cluster directly (because of
security)

a1) there are also issues sigsegv when setting configuration parameters
of omelasticsearch

b) logstash has better functionality in parsing and mangling data before
they are pushed to els

c) els clients are very sensitive to input data. there were case when
there were binary data in logs and those cannt be pushed and whole
cluster crashed because of this.

Feb 13 19:30:19 127.0.0.1 sshd[22862]: Invalid user imu\361oz from a.b.c.d
Feb 13 19:30:19 127.0.0.1 sshd[22862]: pam_krb5(sshd:auth):
authentication failure; logname=imu�oz uid=0 euid=0 tty=ssh ruser=
rhost=a.b.c.d

that's also why i switch to logstash with:

tr -c '[:print:][:cntrl:]' '?' | $JAVA_HOME/bin/java $JAVA_OPTS -jar
$JAR agent -f lsloader-stdin.conf
